Oscar, Shin Lee and Concordia gain each 21,000xp and 13,000gp.
Everybody gets 5 DT.
The cult of the unbeknownst year zero approached Concordia as allies who offer assistance in the revival of her friend. One hour earlier they already approach Shin Lee and Oscar about this case and offered them gold for their help. They gladly took it. All of them then met together at 3 pm at the light spire and an illusionary waggon with black pegasus phantom steeds waited for them. They travelled through the Thassadonian ruins in Riddleport close to the Mwangi expanse and after 2 more hours, they arrive at a clearing with rotten ground and a temple-like entrance into the underground. The door was rotten and warned them that the inside is dark and only colourful light will shine clearly. They entered and spoke with an arcane ancient crow animal lord. It was able to understand all languages the ratfolk said also the arcane unguided spider who was under some piles of stone understood every language of the ratfolk. The adventurers talked to them but almost made another guardian of the place attack them. It was just barely deflected as the words were spoken: "REST ASSURED THE TWISTED MEMORIES WILL NOT GUIDE YOU." Words which came through the rumours of the peacock spirits death...They found these words on the 4th page which was ripped out of a book called "The end of limits".
**Once they were entities sealed in the outer planes. Creatures who lived side by side with the eldritch. It is said they have lived before some of the elder gods went into their eternal sleep of senseless destruction. They did not follow the rules of alignments. They weren't guided by the judgment and not guided by the chance. They rested assured to act as they thought would be the best. They were called "The Unguided...They were vigil creatures with a strong memory of the happenings. Their wisdom and reason were because of this memories sometimes twisted and the whispers of their words carried on to even some deities who vanished. Rumours tell that the peacock spirit lost his life to a confrontation with those who were not meant to exist...This rumours started the base for everything happening after that and the sentence: " Rest assured, the twisted memories will not guide you." became a sentence for the life of all Unguided. These words should become important for the destruction of their unschooled magic.**
This pages shattered a major creation of a mirror with fresh and holy water running down. They could now go deeper into the temple and passed the catacomb of a dead without provoking his melancholic haunt but they found still another page of the book. It spoke about the way to make hollow haunts manifest... Manifest in an attackable shell. This page was the 4th one:
**The unguided were split into three main entities. One of them stands for confrontation, he brings a frightful presence but also the wisdom of strength, the unguided of time and space, holding his staff and letting his patience shape everything to his will, and the unguided of Isolation, he who never has been seen... They surpassed the domains of deities and were unaffected by them but it should change with the fall of the serpentfolk and endless chaos in the ages of darkness. It came the day their shrines stop to be visited and to get consumed by a void... Hiding chained souls and magical artefacts of various kind. Often these chained and unguided souls remained and became hollow shells of their emotions but emotions do not manifest themselves as simply as people would think but the light can make their shells appear...**
Soon they already needed to use it against a haunt of hatred who was slain by Aroden. His shell was a serpentfolk and he activated a force module to make a blood elemental appear which ran with it force the blood. After this fight, they found the harrow card of betrayal which state this card is for Shinrin. A traitorous woman who would have been bound to the card if it was shown as also revived fools bow to the time and their old destinies. They didn't investigate much more but found this still one more card and two seals which they activated through fire magic and ice magic which removed a thick wall of deeper darkness. This was done before they even saw all rooms and so they stood in front of the priest. The priest they didn't know anything about. The man wielding a clock wand which can change a lot and repair as well as revive. He offered a contract but they refused to accept this contract:
**MATERIAL PLANE, Being the FOURTH incarnation of the THIRD Cycle of Mortality, on file in Fallen Fastness 9415782,68863:2141,70026231. This is a lawful contract between
hereinafter called “COVENANTER” and
hereinafter called “COSIGNATORY.”
Their names used for this pact only. HERETOFORE shall the efforts of the COVENANTER be bound to the COSIGNATORY to the effect of the following terms.
The boon of a single mortal wish, affected immediately upon the signing of this document, meted out forthwith with the full ability and potency of the COVENANTER and specifically without intent to harm or confound.
In recompense, upon the cessation of mortal continuation, the COSIGNATORY binds all personal efforts, agendas, service, and attendance to the COVENANTER, to dispose an individual. In code 9485784, 3728.7845, 9888491. Subject to the veto of the three, honour to their names and Time and Space most high.
Signed in blood and bound by soul.**
So it happened with a fireball by Oscar that he turned aggressive.. and the whole fight was a wandering change of emotional and alignment states. The cleric showed evil, chaotic, lawful and good sites. He also demonstrated to be a capable enemy who knows how to find. After a fight which ends in a diplomatic way they find out about his ripped out heart, lungs and brain as well as his blood. Those made him a native outsider... The whole situation ended good and peaceful and Concordia was able to revive her friend Thomas Axel through the power the unguided of time and space but she doesn't know that it had still a cost although she didn't sign a contact. The space and time gave her soul a geas/quest. Her code of conduct was expanded as she doesn't need to follow only the codes of Iomedae so the following:
• I will learn the weight of my sword. Without my heart to guide it, it is worthless—my strength is not in my sword, but in my heart. If I lose my sword, I have lost a tool. If I betray my heart, I have died.
• I will have faith in the Inheritor. I will channel her strength through my body. I will shine in her legion, and I will not tarnish her glory through base actions.
• I am the first into battle, and the last to leave it.
• I will not be taken prisoner by my free will. I will not surrender those under my command.
• I will never abandon a companion, though I will honour sacrifice freely given.
• I will guard the honour of my fellows, both in thought and deed, and I will have faith in them.
• When in doubt, I may force my enemies to surrender, but I am responsible for their lives.
• I will never refuse a challenge from an equal. I will give honour to worthy enemies, and contempt to the rest.
• I will suffer death before dishonour.
• I will be temperate in my actions and moderate in my behaviour. I will strive to emulate Iomedae's perfection.
The following was added:
• I will seek pieces of lost time as long as it is possible.
• I will slay every Kyton who I ever encounter.
• I will protect every human life which can still be guided to the right ways.
• I will judge myself for any prejudice towards a creature who is not a kyton.
• I will punish those allies who interfere with these codes.
If she doesn't follow this added codes she will suffer per the geas/quest spell.
Oscar and Shin Lee got one point of wisdom drain as a punishment by the unguided one of time and space.
The whole party gains also through the encounter with the unguided of space and time a +1 inherent charisma bonus.
The party was less paid as expected by the unbeknownst zero because their efforts were not enough. They didn't bring enough knowledge into the daylight.
Thomas Axel was revived without any negative levels but upon waking up his mind feels different. He remembers only everything from the morning before the adventure at the borderlands. He has two points wisdom drain.
